one solution: (1, 4)
The equations:
y = -x + 5
y = -5x + 9
Explanation:[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Given equations:} \\ 4x+4y=20\text{ }\ldots(1) \\ 10x+2y=18\text{ }\ldots(2) \end{gathered}[/tex]
To plot the graphs, we can assign values to x. The we get the corresponding values of y for each of the equation.
Rewritting the two equations by making y the subject of formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x+4y=20 \\ \text{divide through by 4:} \\ x\text{ + y = 5} \\ y\text{ = -x + 5} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 10x+2y=18 \\ \text{divide through by 2:} \\ 5x\text{ + y = 9} \\ y\text{ = -5x + 9} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Plotting the graphs:
The point of intersection of the graphs is the solution.
There is one solution: (1, 4)
